Persephone

Wearing tonnes of pink and green together feels super lame but I’m just really
excited about spring, so dressing like this kind of validates my feelings about
the seasons (kind of) and how wonderful it is now that it's September. I know,
using the weather as an excuse for being uncreative is pretty weak (on a scale
of 1 to The Dog Ate my Homework it ranks highly) but it’s totally depressing
when the sky is grey all the time, for some creepy reason there are no shadows
on the ground and the wind makes your hair feel gross. EVERY DAY. The
holographic accessories save this outfit from being a total cliché and instead
inject a quirky sense of attitude, nostalgic of superheroes like the Pink Poweranger.

So instead of quoting Meryl Streep saying “Florals? For spring? Ground-breaking,”
you’ll be all like, gee Adele, you look cool today! (…maybe) It’s also the perfect time to show off my new earrings! Before I went in store
I really wanted to buy a pair in blue, but no one else on instagram is rocking
this colour so I feel unique and special when I wear them. Also, the lady who
makes these is heavily pregnant and hence can’t keep up with all the orders for
her jewellery. That’s what the sales assistant told me anyway. I didn’t want to
wait an extra month for them to receive new stock. Anyway! They wrapped them up
in a holographic foil envelope- so in a weird way everything
about this look is cohesive. Or maybe just the narrative and story behind it is
unified in feelings.
